UPDATE: Library to check out new catalog system Monday

COLUMBIA — The Daniel Boone Regional Library System will replace its current catalog
system with a new catalog system, BiblioCommons, on Monday. It will be the second library system in the U.S. to
use the new software, according to a library press release.

"We're always looking for ways to improve our services,
and we also specifically heard from patrons during our recent strategic
planning process that the catalog could be easier to use," Library Director
Melissa Carr said in the release. "We know the online catalog is a core service, something
nearly every patron uses, so we're very happy to be able to offer such an
exciting upgrade."

"Whether you only use the catalog to search for an
occasional title, or you're eager to start sharing your favorite titles with
others, the new catalog has features that will enhance library services for
every kind of user," regional technical services manager Pat Kopp said in the release. "I'm
so pleased with this new system, it's like I've died and gone to library
catalog heaven."
